Talk:Steering shaft assemblies from junkyard parts

:I agree with the comments above. I tried to add almost the exact observation (and similar praise) for the described project on the WIKI page but got erased immediately. Another problem with the design as shown is the Heim intermediate bearing is redundant. If the top shaft bearing is adequately rigid and the steering box is obviously rigid, the Heim bearing will only serve to add stress to the system. It is impossible to perfectly line up three in-line bearings and this added constraint will add stress. May be minimal but is a negative. The bearing is not needed just ad intermediate bearings are not called for in a two U-joint drive shaft. Otherwise I applaude the Pick-A-Part approach! | :I agree with the comments above.
